Installation
RenderMan for Houdini (RfH) comes with your Houdini installation automatically! Since it is only an interface to the RenderMan Pro Server (the renderer itself), you need to also install the renderer. See Installation and Licensing.
After you installed RenderMan Pro Server properly and set up its environment variable $RMANTREE, re-launch Houdini. You are now ready to setup your first scene!
On OSX it may be useful to edit your Houdini.env file like so (being sure the path is the version you're using, below it is 21.0):
| Code Block |
|---|
RMANTREE=/Applications/Pixar/RenderManProServer-21.0
PATH=$RMANTREE/bin:$PATH |
Adding Light
To add a light, select one of light tools such as Dome 
from the RenderMan Shelf which automatically creates a Pxr light OBJ. See Lighting for more information.
